Review
Processes
Design
Review Board/Planning & Zoning Commission
The first step in developing a site plan within the City of Green is to
contact the Planning Department. Taking a few minutes to schedule a meeting
or discuss your project over the phone with one of the Planning staff
will ensure that your plans and ideas are within the scope of the Long
Range Land Use Plan and generally fall within the guidelines of the land
development codes. The Planning staff will also be happy to guide you
through each step you must take to receive proper review of your proposed
project.
Site plans (commercial, industrial, recreational projects, freestanding
signs, and multi-family dwelling units) are all projects that are reviewed
both by the Design Review Board and the Planning & Zoning Commission.
An appropriate number of plans and drawings as well as the preliminary
application and fee must be submitted prior to placement on the appropriate
agenda. (2007 Meeting
and Deadline Calendar) A final application and fee
must also be submitted before the Design Review Board
hearing date. Once a project has been reviewed by the Design Review Board,
revised plans are submitted for review and approval by the Planning
& Zoning Commission.
Signage
Review
Freestanding identification signs in the City of Green are reviewed by
the Design Review Board and the Planning & Zoning Commission and must
fall within the parameters of the sign regulations, (City of Green Codified Ordinances Chapter 1292).
Applicants requesting permission to erect freestanding identification
signage must submit a preliminary sign application and
fee as well as drawings of the proposed sign plan to the Planning Department.
A final sign application, fee, and additional sets of
plans must be submitted prior to the Design Review Board hearing date.
Subdivision Review
(City of Green Subdivision Regulations)
Major
Subdivision
A preliminary plan (overall plan) for a Major Subdivision is reviewed
by the Planning & Zoning Commission. In order to be considered for
preliminary approval, an applicant must submit a preliminary
plan application, fee, and appropriate number of plans. Preliminary
plan approvals are valid for one year, after which applicants must apply
for a Preliminary Plan Renewal. Each phase of a proposed
subdivision must also be reviewed by the Planning & Zoning Commission.
A final plat application, fee, and plans are submitted
to the Planning Department for placement on the Planning & Zoning
Commission agenda. Final plats are recommended either favorably or unfavorably
to the City Council for final approval.
Minor Subdivision
A map and legal description for a Minor Subdivision (see Codified Ordinance
Chapter 1242.03 "Subdivision, minor") must be prepared by
a professional surveyor and submitted to the Planning Department and
the Zoning Division for their review and approval. Once the plat of
survey has been executed by both the Zoning Division and the Planning
Department, applicants are responsible for recording the Minor Subdivision
with the Summit County Fiscal Office. A copy of the recorded deed is
then submitted to the Planning Department for their files. Fees are
assessed per legal description. (Discuss Minor Subdivision Review
Procedure with the Planning Department). Minor Subdivisions generally include lot splits, lot
consolidations, and boundary line adjustments. Any proposed Minor Subdivision
which does not meet code requirements must be reviewed by the Planning
& Zoning Commission and/or Board of Zoning Appeals for the issuance
of the appropriate variance(s) prior to final execution by the City.
Planned
Development
Applicants seeking to develop residential communities which utilize alternative
designs to standard subdivisions may request to establish a Planned Development
District. The City currently has four (4) such districts available to
developers. The procedure for the establishment of a Planned Development
District is provided in Codified Ordinance Section 1270.10 of the Planning
& Zoning Code. At the time of rezoning, a general plan for the development
of the land shall be submitted for review by the Planning & Zoning
Commission. General plans must meet the specific requirements contained
in the code. Upon consideration, the Planning & Zoning Commission
makes a recommendation to City Council for the general plan and rezoning
request. If approved by City Council, a detailed final development plan
must be developed and submitted for review by the Planning & Zoning
Commission, with confirmation by City Council. The final development plan
shall be in accordance with the approved general plan and is considered
according to the procedures specified in Codified Ordinance Section 1298.04.
The rezoning of the land does not become effective until City Council
confirms the plan.
Property Rezoning
Applicants wishing to rezone property (see Codified Ordinance
Chapter 1264) within the City of Green may begin this process by scheduling
an appointment with the Director of Planning. While such a visit is not
mandatory, information and guidance as to whether or not the proposed
rezoning falls within the scope of the Long Range Land Use Plan may prove
to be both helpful and time saving. To apply for Planning & Zoning
Commission review, applicants must submit a Rezoning Application,
fee, and legal description of the area proposed for rezoning. Once the
Planning & Zoning Commission has reviewed this rezoning request, it
is then forwarded to City Council with either a favorable or unfavorable
recommendation for their consideration.
